Targus Wireless Keyboard...

[PSP996]

I'm thinking about picking one of these up seeing how inexpensive they are, but I just have one last question. I heard they use 2 CR2032 coin batteries, so approximately how many hours would you get out it? That's all I guess, Thanks.

I don't think there are any battery life figures posted anyway, but I've been using mine a lot during testing, and it's still on the original set of batteries, so I guess that's 30+ hours of total operation so far.

The Targus does use two CR2032 coin batteries, but I havent had much joy getting mine to work yet.

I bought my keyboard new from ebay about a month ago and have only just tried it out seeing as the new pikey release supports 3.40oe... but I cant get it to work.

Ive tried everything but had no joy so I've just ordered some new batteries to see if that is the problem?

I think I positioned the keyboard infared arm correctly (I followed the picture tutorial from maxconsole) but nothing seems to happen.

I'll post back when i try it again with some fresh batteries.

From the following product review : http://reviews.cnet.com/k...4505-3134_7-30400383.html

...
"The Targus uses two CR2032 lithium batteries (included), which should last 150 hours with continuous use or 1,100 hours in standby time, according to the company."

Nothing is stated in its official website (product details or specification sheet)  though.

I hope it helps ;-)

I use mine often and have had it for half a year and it all works fine . The batteries aren't cheap though...
